, fication.

My invention has reference to bottles; and it has for one 4of itsobjects to provide a nursing-bottle embodying such a construction thatit is adapted to be taken apart and eX- peditiously and thoroughlycleansed.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a nursing-bottle inwhich a jacket is employed to hold the parts of the bottle together andis made to serve the additional functions of a protective casing and areceptacle to receive any leakage that may take,A

place from the bottle` Other advantageous features of the invention willbe fully appreciated from the follow-l ing description and claims, whenthe same are taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, formingpart' of this specification, in whichl Figure l -is an elevation of thebottle constituting the present and preferred embodiment of my inventionas the same appears with its parts properly assembled and ready for use.Fig. 2 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in vertical section, ofthe bottle.

Similar letters designate corresponding parts in both views of thedrawings, referring to Which- A is the body of my novel bottle. The saidbody ispreferably' made of glass because of the facility with which suchmaterial can be thoroughly' cleansed, and it comprises an intermediatesection a, open at itsflower and upper ends, a base section or plug b,having a reduced portion c removably arranged in the lower end of theintermediate section a, which is tubular throughout its length, and anupper tubular section d, which is provided with a lower reduced portione, adapted t0 take into the upper end of the intermediate section, and ashoulder f, arranged to bear ,on said up er end of the intermediatesection. The rerfiiced portion of the lower section b and the reducedportion e of the upper section d are preferably ta ered, as are also theportions of the interme iate section in which said reduced portions areremovably arranged, this with a view of permittin of the lower and u persections being we ged in the interme iate section, so as to preventleakage from the interior oflthe body. In addition to the reducedportion e and the shoulder f the upper section d of the body' A ispreferably provided with the. usual neck, terminating'at its upper endina bead and adapted for the application of an ordinary nursing-nipple.

B is the acket of my novel bottle, which is preferably', though notnecessarily, made of sheet metal. The `said jacket Acomprises a -lowersection gin the form of ra receptacle and an upper tubular. lsection h.This latter is detachably connected to the lower section, preferablythrough the medium of screwthreads i, and at its upper end it has aninturned flange or taper portion c, which receives and rests over theupper section d of body A, after the manner best shown in Fig. 2.

When the parts of my novel bottle are assembled, as shown in Fig. 2, thejacket B serves to hold the lower and upper sections of the body Atightly in the intermediate section thereof and practically preventsleakage of milk or other substance from the interior of the body. Shouldsuch leakage take place, however, the milk will obviously' be caught andretained in the jacket. The said jacket-B also serves to retain heat inthe milk, and in the event of the bottle falling or being thrown from acrib, baby-carriage, or the like it greatly lessens the liability oftheI fragile body A being broken.

While the jacket B serves to hold the sections of the body A together,as stated, it will be 'observed that when it is desired to cleanse thebottle the sections of the jacket may be readily disconnected andremoved from the body A. It will also be observed that subsequent to theremoval of the jacket B the sections of the body A may be separated andeach may be very quickly and thoroughly discharged of sediment andcleansed.

To assemble the parts of the bottle and make the same ready for use, itis simply necessary to place the lower and u per sections` of the body Ain the interme 'ate sec- Pate'nted Sept. 18, 1906 n tion thereof, andthen arrange the lower end n' of the body in the lower jacket-section gand place the upper jacket-section h over the body A and screw it intoengagement with the said lower section g, since vwhen this is done thelower and upper sections of the body A will be tightly forced and heldin the intermediate section thereof.

It will be gathered from the foregoing that IIO notwithstanding thepractical advantages l which my improved bottle possesses over theordinary bottle the same is simple in construction and is adapted to besold with prot Jfor a small price.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent,

1. In a bottle, the combination with a body com. rising an intermediatetubular section an lower and upper separable sections havin taperreduced portions seated in the ends 0 the intermediate section; of ajacket comprising a lower section in the form of a receptacle receivingthe lower end of the body, and an upper .section detachably connected tothe lower section and having an upper inturned flange resting over andholding the upper section of the body.

2. In a bottle, the combination with a zo bodylcom rising anintermediate tubular section an lower and upper separable sectionshaving taper reduced portions seated in the ends of the intermediatesection; of a jacket comprising a lower section in the form of areceptacle receiving the lower end of the body, and y an upper sectionconnected by screw-threads to the lower section and having an upperinturned flange resting over and holding the upper section of the body.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto'set my hand in presence of nesses.
